The Flint Local 432 is an all-ages, substance free, non-profit music venue located in Downtown…read moreFlint that offers a variety of live music and arts events. They consistently have great shows nearly every weekend, representing a wide amalgam of genres. They do focus primarily on youth (ages 15-25) in terms of their demographic, but they are an important Flint institution. Definitely follow them on their social media and check out the website frequently.

Saturday visit, checking out a place we have been by but never stopped. Today was the day…read more Here is what we liked: * Definitely that small town local hang out vibe. Mix of older patrons and younger. * Variety of seating - we chose the bar. * Couple older guys next to us, looked grumpy but were incredibly nice and had a good conversation * All your normal beer and alcohol selections. Nothing fancy. Beer was cold. * service at the bar was friendly and attentive * Got a sample platter with all the fried foods. They were as you would expect What could of been better: * The house made battered mushroom were heavy on an almost wheat type of breading. This place was nothing fancy, exactly what you would expect from a local dive. Noticed they had some awards posted for the pizza- guess we have to come back and try it.

Flint has a lot of bars- and this is one of them…read more For certain, it was a heck of a lot better back in the day when it was the Backroom. I went here all of the time as a college student when it was known as the Backroom and later I dropped in once in awhile when it was called Kelly's, until it was sold and became the Loft. Yep, it's a dive bar, always has been and always will be, but the really good old days of the dive bar experience here are sadly gone. As dive bars go, I've seen better and I've seen worse. In fact, if look up the phrase "dive bar," you will probably come across a picture of the Loft. You can't order food here, the "dance floor" is tiny, the music is sometimes good, sometimes not. Don't let me get started on the parking situation- it's terrible and you might as well make a mad dash to wherever you managed to park your car when you leave! It's actually laughable. Some of the cocktails are a bit overpriced for what you are getting (sometimes weak or improperly made), but service largely depends on if you are regular or friend of a friend. Random strangers probably tend to get the short end of the stick. I admit, I've gotten free drinks here before, but that's because the staff knows me. Rodney, the owner, is a great guy, but sometimes the bar runs out of essentials, like premium spirits and mixers. I wish the bar staff would just get it together and make certain that the bar is properly stocked to avoid having to order something alternative because they're out of the appropriate ingredients. Beer selection is just average, but they do carry Stella Artois, one of my favorites, so the Loft has that going for itself. While I don't particularly care for most of their cocktails (either too sweet or extremely tart- so much for a happy medium), the bartenders do make a good mojito and a decent old fashioned, though. My preferred cocktail is a whisky sour, which is pretty easy to make and the last few I ordered kinda sucked. They just didn't taste right, too tart. More often than not, I haven't cared for the vibe, the atmosphere, etc. There are just way too many barfly types hanging around drinking draft beer all night. Plus, I often run into an ex or two here and that's just bad mojo all around...

I came here with a group of friends, and for a night we owned it. It has a neighborhood feel on a…read moreslow night, laid back, kinda like everyone knows you and you're the cool kid on the block rather than the drama queen. That's how I like it. We just bought round after round after round. They made our car bombs out of Bushmill's whiskey which was a huge plus! I love dive bars and I wouldn't call this one a dive exactly, but the atmosphere is definitely NOT one where you want to drink expensive specialty martinis and eat tapas while toting your designer bag around. It's more like the place that gets really cozy when you go there regularly. Torn jeans, comfy white T-shirt, your busted Cons. I definitely would go do some major chugging with my Flint town crew if I was back around there.

My favorite place for affordable and delicious drinks. I wish they would fix their pull tab machine, I used to love that. Indoor and outdoor seating is amazing. My fav bar in the area for sure! They also go fun theme nights and often do events for holidays!

I had no idea this place existed until recently. I came here for the Pet Expo this weekend and…read morerealized it was here. It's actually a really nice place on the inside and is primarily for the Flint ice hockey team, which yet again, I had no idea existed! You learn something new every day, right? After a long drive I found this place and wandered inside. Parking here's a little odd with a few different entrances and two separate lots. It reminds me of mall parking at Lakeside for some reason...don't ask. It was $5 to park which isn't that bad. Inside the main lobby is quite large with a big screen across the wall! there's three floors and my event was on the first floor. the main floor had the fly ball for dogs and I believe that's also where the actual ice rink is. I have no clue what's on the third floor. Probably offices. Anyway, it's a nice place in a part of town that could probably use the event space. They had a little snack area but I didn't get anything to eat our drink. Would return for other events in the future.

They have a gift shop that is extremely overpriced for the merchandise. VUP parking is available in the rear of the building for $5. The venue was clean along with the restrooms. Staff was friendly and armed security was plentiful making you feel safe (even though entry did not require a search or metal detectors). Good team with nice entertainment between periods. I would definitely return for a game but eat somewhere else prior or after.

Unassuming but almost huge place off the beaten path near Bishop Airport. My wife got turned on to…read morethis spot by a colleague while working in the area & we have now been back several times. While we are not huge beer drinkers they do have a nice assortment of in-house brews. We are more inclined to order wine or spirits & their wine list is rather small, their cocktails are decent pours. Above average & classier bar food, pretty good pizza but maybe order a little well done. The dal surprise is their steaks. I am pretty finicky preferring charred rare or Pittsburgh style which is not well-k own in these parts & requires a very hot grill. One of the owners, Louis, who is very hands-on, was manning the grill the last time we were in & our server I fed us that their grill was not as hot as required to really get that good char. No problem. The steak came out to my liking and Louis even came to our table to make sure I was happy with his artistry. Classy! And I was! Will be back soon and often.
